My last comment on TEOT
It looks like The Daily Roundup comments have already been closed. That was fast!!!
This TEOT thing is only being kept alive by the media and UT sports sites. The committee did the best that they could, but it looks like the people who want to see it banned weren t going to accept their findings unless they aligned exactly with what they already thought [in many ways based on falsehoods and vague guilt by association arguments]. Five minutes of Google the other night led me to the likely melodic origins of The Levee Song or I ve Been Working on the Railroad and it was a piece of music that was written in homage to the peasant class in their struggle against the feudalists. Isn t there something good to be seen from that?
